2. Zimna Wojna - Cold War (2018)
3. Ida (2013)
4. Bogowie (2014)
5. Symetria (2003)

7. Katyń (2007)
8. Pianista - The Pianist (2002).

 

[Glabrigausapes]

There’s certainly no shortage of Magdalenas & Małgorzatas...

 

[Matthaeus]

Yeah, I want to see Boże Ciało as well. Not too sure about recent Polish movies, though.

Two additinal films I that I saw and come to my mind - I think they are really good films, and one can get them with multi language subs.

1. Róża (Rose) - 2011 - War Drama -

2. Najlepszy - The Best - 2017 - Biographical Drama

Adriano, I'm not entirely sure why you've summoned me here, but I definitely commend you for having a good eye for pretty looking women.

Te vocavi mulieres polonicas pulchras admirandi causa. Nonne pulchrae sunt feminae illae quibus in venis sanguis lechicus fluit?
Num aliquid oculis virorum plus delectationis afferre potest?

This looks up my street.

There are some 20th century Polish writers who gained international recognition (Sapkowski, Lem, Głowacki, Kosiński)

I would like to mention Ryszard Kapuściński (journalist, reporter, correspondent, photographer).
He wrote many books on matters related to Africa and Latin America.

Here are some books worth mentioning:
1. Wojna Futbolowa (The Soccer War) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Soccer_War_(book)
2. Heban https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shadow_of_the_Sun
3. Cesarz (the Emperor) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor_(book)
4. Chrystus z karabinem na ramieniu (Christ With a Rifle on His Shoulder)

 

[Adrian]

Stanisław Lem (medicine man by education; egregious Polish writer of science fiction, essayist on philosophy and futurology, literary critic) of jewish ancestry @Issacus Divus

List of works by Stanisław Lem and their adaptations - Wikipedia

I myself read Opowieści o pilocie Pirxie (Tales of Pirx the Pilot )
Solaris is his most renown work abroad (available in many languges)

Fajna Polska komedia w reżyserii Juliusza Machulskiego
Kingsajz (1987) - w jednej z głównych ról prześliczna Katarzyna Figura
Hic comoediam illam videre potes: TU (nulli autem subtituli anglici )

Spoiler: Katarzyna Figura

A nice Polish Comedy by Juliusz Machulski
Kingsajz (1987) starring among others the lovely Katarzyna Figura (there are even some nude shots of her in that movie)
You can watch the movie HERE or HERE (Part 1 Part 2)
(unfortunatelly no eng subs); but if you have possibility to rent DVD or watch through commercial service with your native subs, I recommend you do it.

@Adrian, sorry for the late response, I was gone for a while.

lechicus

What does that word mean?

Num aliquid oculis virorum plus delectationis afferre potest?

I suspect that beauty may have elements of both subjectivity & objectivity. Yeah, it's mostly subjective, but I think it's rather safe to say that the women you've posted images of are objectively prettier than a woman who looks like this:

I haven't explored the philosophical branch of aesthetics in depth & I acknowledge that there may be some blind spots in my position that I'm not aware of.

Nunc ad rem
lechicus - latinisation of polish adjective "lechicki" (pl. lechicki = pertaining to tribe of Lech - legendary founder of Poland); in some medieval text Poles are referred to as Lechici (Lechites) - adjective lechicus appears in some latin texts I saw on Google Books

Lechites - Wikipedia

If I'm not mistaken, in some languages (like Ukraine, Russia and Turkish; Poles were referred to as "Lachy" ;
Лѧхъ (Lęch/Ljach/Lach) (1115)

not sure if Russians still use it in slang language @Quasus @Hemo Rusticus
Poland was referred in Ottoman Turkey as Lachistan, Lahestân/لهستان), turkish (Lehistan) - @LCF

They do. Though very rare.
